Xiao Nan was naturally not going to fall for it. She had already revealed quite a bit. Her husband was cunning and shrewd; she would have to be more careful in the future.

The oxcart swayed and rattled until it arrived at Zhengde Town. It was too cold, and there were almost no street vendors. Only the shops on both sides were open, with a few scattered customers haggling over prices.

Xiao Nan glanced casually in the direction of the pharmacy and met the eyes of Manager Liu. They both nodded at the same time without saying anything.

Because this was an agreement between her and Manager Liu.

The matter of the medicine was kept secret from everyone.

Just then, Longlong's voice rang in her mind.

Master, look to your left front.

Xiao Nan looked up and saw a man and a woman walking hand in hand out of a gate, looking very affectionate and sweet.

"Zhang Tingyu!"

"Yes, that bastard could be an Oscar winner. He clearly hates the Fang family."

Xiao Nan didn't take it seriously and turned his gaze to Fang Shi.

"Ok?"

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

You said she's ugly?

"Isn't it ugly?"

Xiao Nan scoffed, "It's just some red spots and pockmarks on my face, how is that ugly?"

"But in other people's eyes, this is ugly."

"Her skin is nice, probably because she was pampered by a wealthy family. With Zhang Lao Er's personality, everything is the same when the lights are off at night. Besides, with such tender skin, he won't be dissatisfied."

"Oh, you mean Zhang Lao Er is very satisfied with Fang Shi?"

"Whether he dislikes it or not, no matter how much he tries to hide it, his eyes don't lie. Apart from being constantly on guard in the Fang family, he must be enjoying it."

Meng Fei often looked back at Xiao Nan. He saw her looking at a couple, so he followed her gaze.

He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Wife, are they people you know?"

Xiao Nan chuckled, about to speak, when the old woman saw him. She was a little angry and said:

"That man is the second son of the Zhang family. He will take the imperial examination for the title of Xiucai next year. That woman is the daughter of the Fang family. He is a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family."

Meng Fei narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous glint.

"So it turns out you were a son-in-law like me."

The old woman snorted: "He can't compare to you. He's only after the Fang family's money. With their wealth, they simply can't afford to support him."

"Yes, he can't possibly compare to me; he's blind!"

The old woman was taken aback, then realized what he meant and burst into laughter: "Yes, yes, he's blind. He didn't see how good my girl is. He lost a pearl and picked up a stone."

Xiao Nan chuckled: "Their whole family is blind. They tricked me into coming to the Zhang family, and in order to exploit me, they wouldn't even let me have a full meal, let alone make me clothes or give me a bath. Back then, I was worse off than a beggar. No wonder they can't see me."

Meng Fei's hand clenched involuntarily, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent as he looked at Zhang Lao Er.

The old woman's words brought him back to his senses.

"They're kicking themselves now, but Zhang Lao Er is probably the one who regrets it the most."

Meng Fei muttered to himself, "I'll make you regret it even more."

Xiao Nan didn't hear these words. Even if he had, he would only have supported them. Whether the Zhang family lived or died was none of his business. Besides, they deserved to die.

If Meng Fei had the means, she would be happy to see Zhang Lao Er suffer.

Perhaps Zhang Tingyu sensed something, he turned around and looked this way, and when he saw Xiao Nan, he was stunned.

When Xiao Nan first met her, she was dressed as a man, and she had already attracted him then.

Now, seeing Xiao Nan dressed in women's clothing, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"How beautiful!" he thought. He dared not say that there was no girl as beautiful as her in the surrounding area. Zhang Lao Er couldn't help but walk towards her.

Meng Fei stopped the oxcart, immediately jumped off, and stood beside Zhang Tingyu.

"Zhang Lao Er, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Tingyu tried to push Meng Fei away, but unexpectedly, she almost fell over herself.

Only then did he come to his senses.

He glared at Meng Fei and said, "Who are you? Why are you stopping me?"

Meng Fei snorted coldly, and the murderous aura emanating from him almost scared Zhang Lao Er to death.

Who exactly are you?

Whom do you want to go find?

"I"

He quickly turned around to look at Madam Fang, who looked like she was watching a good show, neither stopping him nor coming forward to find him.

As if waking from a dream, Zhang Lao Er quickly took a step back.

"Excuse me, sir, I just saw an acquaintance from Ping'an Village and wanted to go up and say hello. Sorry."

"Hmph, as a scholar, you should know the etiquette between men and women. I've never seen such a greeting."

"I was rude just now. May I ask who this gentleman is to them?"

Meng Fei solemnly said, "The older one is my grandmother, and the younger one is my wife."

Zhang Lao Er's eyes widened in disbelief: "Wife? When did she get married?"

The old woman glared at him: "Alright, stop pretending. What does it have to do with you whether my girl gets married or not? Hasn't your Zhang family harmed him enough?"

"No, no, Grandma, I'm often not home, so I have no idea what my mother did."

"Pah, are you blind? How many girls would stay in your house like that? Anyone can see that."

"Grandma, I really don't know."

"Alright, whether you know or not, once the girl leaves your family, she has nothing to do with your Zhang family anymore. She has a husband now and people protecting her. Don't try to take advantage of her anymore. You think you can pretend? We're not blind. We can all see through you. You can only fool fools."

Zhang Lao Er smiled awkwardly: "Grandma, what are you saying? I am a respectable scholar."

"Hmph, I'm not saying anything more. You should just be a dutiful son-in-law of the Fang family. My girl is not someone you can even dream of."

Meng Fei gave the old woman a thumbs up, tossed Zhang Lao Er aside, and got into the oxcart, heading south.

Watching the oxcart leave, Zhang Tingyu snorted coldly, turned around, and smiled as he approached Fang Shi.

"My wife, please don't misunderstand. Those three are from Ping'an Village. I just went over to say hello. I didn't expect the man to misunderstand. Let's go to the restaurant and get a private room. I'll have a drink with you."

Fang didn't say anything about his behavior, but spoke softly.

"No, I have a cook at home who cooks just as well as the food outside. Besides, I don't like eating out."

"Alright then, how about we go to the county town? I'd like to buy some books, and also some writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones."

"No need, these warehouses have enough. Just tell the steward how much you need and he can withdraw it from the account."

Zhang Tingyu had no choice but to say, "Okay, then let's go home."

As soon as Fang turned to leave, Zhang Tingyu reached out and quickly put his arm around her waist, while at the same time, he looked south again, unwilling to give up.

At that moment, his mind was in turmoil, as if two little people were fighting.

How could she possibly have a husband? Isn't it said that it's difficult for a divorced woman to remarry?

How did she end up with such a handsome man, even better looking than herself?

Why, why couldn't she wait for me, wait until I passed the imperial examinations and became a scholar, then turn around and take her as my wife, so we could enjoy a life of happiness together?

Although they did not consummate their marriage, she was his wife to outsiders.

Shouldn't she remain chaste? How could she get married?

Damn it, utterly despicable, you little brat! You just wait! Once I'm on the path of righteousness, I'll kill your man and ravage you beneath me, making you wish you were dead! Hahaha!

Just then, a yellowish substance and segments of solid matter suddenly poured down on his head.

Upon smelling the stench and seeing what was on his head, Fang screamed, quickly moved aside, bent over, and began to vomit.

Zhang Tingyu grabbed a handful of food, looked at it in front of her eyes, and immediately vomited.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding shops. Standing in front of their shops, they all covered their noses when they saw what was on Zhang Lao Er's body, and some of the women couldn't help but vomit.
